"The cooperation was like nothing I've ever seen in my life," commented Ken Dewey of Dewey Companies, who oversaw the entire project. "Nobody complained.

The level of cooperation was astonishing."
Members of numerous locals from the Carpenters Union of Philadelphia volunteered round the clock to get the house framed and the roof sheathed, according to carpenter Jerry Coughlin. "Many members came to volunteer at the site after they finished their day job," he said.
